Barbara Boxer said "Mr. President, I wish to add my voice of thanks to all involved in the whole slots issue. I know at the last minute Senator Wyden was actually shuttling back and forth between one side of the Chamber and the other. I think it turned out well. It could not have happened without the support of the chairman and ranking member. Coming from the largest State in the Union, we have one flight into Washington, DC. It makes no sense. It is not good for the economy. It is inconvenient. It adds a lot of congestion on the highways. We are very pleased that we are on our way to passing a good bill. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from California is recognized." @ PoliticalQuotes.com

Mr. President, I wish to add my voice of thanks to all involved in the whole slots issue.
